Root skincare products I’m loving

Happy Friday! Let’s kick off our weekend with a few beauty products, shall we? You know I love Root’s makeup products. After I wrote my previous post, I ordered a few more products and may love those even more. In that order, I picked up another blush, bronzer, Pretty Balm, and two eyeshadows. In case you […]

Treat yo’self with body moisturizers

I don’t have any fine leather goods to offer you. (Actually, I might… another post for another time.) But I do have some body moisturizers to tell you about! (In case you need help with the reference in the title of this post or the reference to fine leather goods, please watch this clip and […]

What I’ve been using lately to clean my home

One thing we haven’t talked about is household cleaners. Let’s discuss! I’ve been using the Environmental Working Group to help me choose cleaning options for my home.

I visited Root’s site right away and loved their mission but thought it would be hard to buy makeup online without testing the colors first. Given my predicament, I was delighted to find the ladies from Root at the Indie Beauty Expo! […]
